Swatch Watch: Sculptural Statements

The architectural shape of Dedon’s Phoenix lounge chair (shown with the Zofa side table) and Dedon’s line of bold textiles are the perfect complement to the giant timber bamboo (Bambusa oldhamii) sculpture by David Young of DWY Landscape Architects in Sarasota, Florida. All Dedon fabrics are produced by the best mills and manufacturers in Italy, including Arazzo (solid fabric) and Rubelli (leaf pattern). “Fashion is made in Italy and so are our fabrics,” says Nicola Rapetti, design director of Dedon Worldwide. Go for bold with JANUS et Cie’s Leaf print in Green by Dedon (456-03-075-51-00), a yarn-dyed jacquard weave available in several colorways, including Champagne and Silver. Use with the complementing solid weave, shown in Solid Green (456-21-075-51-00). 800-245-2687, janusetcie.com.
